The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.
This unit covers the competency required to prepare a vehicle and drive over difficult terrain, including cross-country and other off road situations.
This involves the application of low-risk driving techniques, dealing with hazards, and the assessment of (where necessary) and the safe negotiation of obstacles, including water courses such as rivers and streams. The driver must be able to deal with contingencies related to an emergency that may occur in the hazardous situations that may be encountered in driving over difficult terrain under field conditions.
